Spring is a busy time for the Suffield Land Conservancy (SLC), and we have several events planned.
Please join us at 7 p.m., December 8, at the Senior Center for the Suffield Land Conservancy’s annual meeting.
The Suffield Land Conservancy (SLC) is celebrating its 40th anniversary this year and to celebrate, they are establishing a 23-acre outdoor learning center directly across from the Suffield High School (SHS). A principal mission of the SLC is to educate the community about our natural surroundings and the impact of nature on the health of our planet.
The Suffield Land Conservancy (SLC) is pleased to announce the recent donation of over 60 acres of land off of Taintor Street. The Robert W. Baker Nursery and Baker family gave this property to preserve the lot that includes woodlands, open meadows and wetland areas, including vernal pools.
The Suffield Land Conservancy (SLC) will be holding its annual meeting through Zoom on Thursday, December 3. We will be reviewing our many activities in 2020, including our purchase of 23 acres directly across from Suffield High School that will become the John and Madeline McClean outdoor learning center and classroom.
